Joseph Kastein
Josef (later Joseph) Kastein, really Julius Katzenstein (October 6, 1890, Bremen - June 13, 1946, Haifa), was a German-born writer and jurist. He wrote Eine Geschichte der Juden published by Rowohlt in Berlin in 1931 (translated into English, Hebrew and Dutch). According to Douglas Reed Josef Kastein was a "A most zealous Zionist historian... who holds that the Old Testament was in fact a political programme, drafted to meet the conditions of a time, and frequently revised to meet changing conditions.... and that the Law laid down in the Old Testament must be fulfilled to the letter."[1] [1/] The Controversy of Zion Douglas Reed
